Here's the deal.
I'm moving out to germany next weekend but will still be working for a british company getting paid in England because it's my choice to move here rather than be sent because of work, but as i'm going to be resident in germany will have to pay tax there :
QUOTE
Q.1 In what circumstances would I become non-UK resident if I left the UK?
A. Normally if you leave the UK permanently or for 3 years or more or to work abroad full-time, you will become not resident and not ordinarily resident in the UK if
* your absence from the UK covers a complete tax year (i.e. 6 April to
5 April), and
* you spend less than 183 days in the UK during the tax year, and
* your visits to the UK do not average 91 days or more a tax year over a maximum of 4 years.
(For visits to the UK, days of arrival and departure are not normally counted as days spent in the UK.)

I'm sure there must be some other people doing the same so:
who do i go to see about paying tax
am i going to be screwed over ( it sounds like it)

Will i actually have to be classed as self employed because of working for a british company?
Oh and should some of these tax questions not become FAQ's? (sorry i know everyone is busy but if some stuff could be summarised a bit it could stop repeat questions - the bank/transferring money faq's have allready helped!)
Cheers
